      Audience Member Goofy John Woo. Still has some great action and a great as always Chow Yun Fat. Otherwise so so in Woo standards. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member his two-hour pilot for the Canadian TV series is inspired by John Woo's 1991 Hong Kong film of the same title, but the story has been altered extensively. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member You would think that another collaboration with Chow Yun Fat and John Woo would end in success, but "Once A Thief" is far from that. The story is cliched and boring, to add to the horrible story you have a great lack of action. Sure there are a two, exactly two good shoot outs but thats it. Beware of 'Once A Thief" if you are thinking of seeing it! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member shit i meant to put the original once a thief in, well you know what i mean Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Husker det som godt, men det var vist kun pga. Ivan Sergei :P Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A remake/ re-interpretation for Hollywood of John Woo's same titled HK movie made in 1991 by his own self. And yes, it did look like one lousy, B/C grade HK/ Hollywood cop/criminal comic action flick in 80s/90s. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Alan Pergament Buffalo News Once a Thief is more a by-the-numbers job than a Rembrandt. But it certainly is a one-of-a-kind television movie these days. And that's as much a warning as an inducement to watch.
